Optimization of estimating glomerular filtration rate equations for the evaluation of kidney function in children, adolescents and adults KU Leuven
The glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is widely considered as the best overall index of kidney function in health and disease. Direct measurements of GFR are technically complicated and impractical to perform in routine clinical settings. That is why more simple methods to estimate the GFR are so successful. The calculation of the estimated (e)GFR using mathematical formulas has been encouraged as a simple, rapid and reliable way of assessing ...

Exploring the endocytic route of ICAM-5 in hippocampal neurons - a strategy to reveal the gamma-secretase independent role of presenilin 1 in protein trafficking. KU Leuven
Mechanisms that regulate intracellular membrane/protein trafficking are of utmost physiological importance. By affecting the delivery of macromolecules to specific external and subcellular sites they impact majority, if not all relevant cellular processes. Not surprisingly, defects in intracellular membrane flow and its regulators are observed in many pathological conditions, including several neurodegenerative disorders (Howell et al., 2006; ...
